The Scouts

Find a usable connection before you need it.

Three tools built for the moment your phone says you have service and your work says otherwise.

Premium

SignalScout

Your verified connection quality right where you stand, with a trend (improving, steady, declining) and a hands-free audio meter: faster ticks mean a stronger measurement. Walk toward a usable spot with the phone in your pocket. It reports honestly; it never claims to know where better signal is.

How SignalScout works
Premium

MeetingScout

Need a stable connection for that important call? Choose a verified call spot from your own and community history, get a travel-time estimate, and a leave-by reminder so you make the call. You pick the spot; pingVu never navigates.

How MeetingScout works
Free

VideoScout

Confirms whether this connection can sustain a video meeting. VideoScout streams a short controlled test clip and measures startup time, stalls, and the quality level the connection sustains, graded Poor to Excellent with a "smooth up to 1080p" summary. Data-capped on cellular. Also available in your browser.

HomeScout

Walk your home with your phone and get a room-by-room map of where Wi-Fi and cellular actually work. Move your router, re-scan, see the difference. Part of pingVu Pro.

How HomeScout works
Core

Monitoring & alerts

Verified restoration alerts

The moment a real connection completes after a dead zone — sound, haptic, both, or silent notifications. Escalating reminders until you acknowledge.

Independent dual monitoring

Cellular and Wi-Fi watched separately with interface-bound verification, per-network × per-tier custom tones and haptics.

Voice vs. data indicator

See the radio type your phone is registered on (5G/LTE/3G) alongside pingVu's own verified data state — two different questions, both answered honestly.

Live quality history

A quality graph over 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours that honestly shows gaps where no samples exist.

Background coverage

Opt-in dead-zone geofence alerts and background refresh checks — get notified about known dead zones even when the app is closed.

Glanceable everywhere

Home and lock-screen widgets, a Live Activity on iPhone, a persistent status notification on Android, and an Apple Watch companion — your verified state at a glance.

Measure

Tests, diagnostics & maps

Connection Check

Download, upload, ping, jitter, and packet loss — plus an estimated call quality (MOS) score from the ITU-T E-model. No call is ever placed.

Hotspot check

Verify a hotspot actually delivers before you commit your laptop to it.

Coverage map

Your own map of where service worked, plus an optional community cell-service layer built from verified, anonymized results — with a zoomed-out regional overview. Sharing is opt-in, off by default, and works worldwide. Same data as the web coverage map.

Act

When service returns

Queued actions

Draft texts and calls during an outage; they're surfaced when service is verified back. You always confirm the send — nothing auto-sends on either platform.

Field Mode

Bigger controls, higher contrast, boosted alerts, and screen-awake for outdoor and jobsite use.

Map your space

HomeScout

Walk your home with your phone and get a 3D map of where Wi-Fi and cellular actually work, room by room. Move your router or mesh node, re-scan, and see the difference. Maps stay on your device. Part of pingVu Pro.

Column mode

Measure one spot precisely. Stand still; pingVu samples at floor, chest, and reach height automatically. In weak coverage a spot can take 15–40 seconds. Part of pingVu Pro.

Room outlines

Optional and cosmetic: add your room shapes so the map is easier to read. Auto-walls on LiDAR iPhones, or trace the corners on any phone. Outlines never change your measurements.
